On May 13 and 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m, downtown Henniker will host more than 60 local artists, crafters, farmers and food makers at the biannual Henniker Handmade & Homegrown event.
This year’s festival is now two days and has longer hours, in response to high demand and feedback from the public. Vendors will fill the outdoor spaces at the Community Center park located at 57 Main St. Visitors will browse endless handmade gifts including pottery, jewelry, candles, knitwear, woodworking, fine art illustrations, handprinted textiles, photography, plants, flowers, and so much more.
Henniker’s own Joanna Puza of Grow Love Company will have truckloads of exquisite fresh-cut tulips perfect for Mother’s Day.
Live music performances by Walker Smith, The Honey Bees Trio, Decatur Creek, The Danny Savage Band and Beechwood will take place on the Angela Robinson Bandstand.
A variety of food trucks including Taco Beyondo and RJ Texas Style BBQ will be onsite, plus a kids’ activity area. Broken Boat Farm will have their goats on the scene ready for visiting and feeding. Parking will be available at the Henniker Community School and a shuttle bus will be running to and from the event.
